Best Meeting Times Between US and Japan Teams (2026)
8 AM Tokyo is 4 PM in Los Angeles the day before. West Coast afternoon windows, the East Coast dead zone, and why the Philippines slot is an hour off. -
Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Vienna is 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Seoul.
Target 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Vienna, which lands at 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM for the Seoul side. Seoul is 7 hours ahead of Vienna, so you've got a workable 3-hour overlap — ideal for a standing meeting around 8:00 AM in Vienna (3:00 PM in Seoul). For part of the year the maths changes: Vienna observes daylight saving, Seoul does not, shifting the overlap by an hour.
